Rig-Veda, Book 10: HYMN CLIV. New Life

1. FOR some is Soma purified, some sit by sacrificial oil: To those for whom the meath flows forth, even to those let him depart. 2 Invincible through Fervour, those whom Fervour hath advanced to heaven, Who showed great Fervour in their lives, -even to those let him depart. 3 The heroes who contend in war and boldly cast their lives away, Or who give guerdon thousandfold, -even to those let him depart. 4 Yea, the first followers of Law, Law's pure and holy strengtheners, The Fathers, Yama! Fervour-moved,even to those let him depart. 5 Skilled in a thousand ways and means, the sages who protect the Sun, The Ṛṣis, Yama! Fervour-moved,—even to those let him depart.
